Hey guys,
It has been a lot of fun posting my projects and videos here as my channel has grown. Since the Lumbejocks community has been there right alongside me this whole way I figured I would let you in on the HUGE GIVEAWAY I have going on coinciding with my YouTube Channel hitting 10,000 subscribers.
Anyway check out the video for the details and be sure to get subscribed so you can win some awesome stuff. I managed to scrounge together a pretty sweet little setup: A PPE from RZ M...

If you have never turned a cast wood blank and would like a few tips I wrote a blog post about it. Some of these may seem obvious but to new turners it would be helpful for sure. These tips could be helpful for blanks that aren’t cast wood blanks as well. You can find the blog post HERE.
Thanks!

After having made my 1st table saw sled, I knew I had to have a miter sled as well. A few weeks ago I really found myself at a loss when I needed to make some accurate 45-degree angles for the clock I was making for my wife.
I had previously watched a number of videos on this subject and found a method that looked like it would suit my needs and available materials.
Here is a pretty good picture of the sled
I cannot tell you just how happy I am with this sled! if you take a few ...

My Amazing Dad and His Workshop
When I was a little girl, I loved to spend time with my father in his garage workshop. I would climb up onto one of our tall stools and watch him in rapt fascination while he repaired things around the house or built something new. I loved looking at all of his neatly organized shelves full of Gerber baby food jars and cans of Gerber formula, each re-purposed for screws, nails and a myriad of unidentifiable do-dads. Dad would ask me to get various materials ...

Kids and the Hand Operated Drill Press
https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=tRAOO72GHfg3rd or 4th graders learn quickly, younger kids take longer.
I found a hand-operated drill press at an antique tool sale. It makes many drilling operations easier and safer. With it, a child doesn’t have to support the weight of the drill or hold it straight. The feed mechanism allows her to apply more pressure to the bit. Kids enjoy using it. Many types of hand-operated drill presses were mad...

This was a project that I really looked forward to sharing with the Esperantist community as it’s a pretty classic design.

We’re almost caught up with my past articles!

I build this web-based tool to design cutting boards. It was inspired by cbdesigner, but is web based and supports many different types of patters beyond the basic checkerboard style patterns like chevrons, basket-weaves, pinwheels, and more.
Try it out and let me know what you think!

I think I mentioned that I’ve been writing articles about woodworking in Esperanto for a nation-wide newsletter. The newest articles are only available to members of the organization, but after a few months they are available to anyone. I figure after a few years I can publish these articles as a collectiion, probably as an eBook. Every penny helps buy sandpaper and glue!
In case anyone is interested in seeing what a proper woodworking article looks like in Esperanto, I thought I...
